Quick post today just to show Lee Ann and Miguel's albums that recently came in...they turned out BEAUTIFUL - thanks, Finao!
For Lee Ann and Miguel's album, they went for a 12x16 20-spread with a photo upgrade - my favorite - the acrylic. Their backing is a basic black leather.
They also ordered a duplicate for their parents and decided on the 6x8 brownish/grayish leather with a copper imprint. Gorgeous, huh?
Geoff and I have been married 2.5 years and we have yet to design and print our own album. And let me tell you, whenever we get one of our client's wedding albums in the mail, I get that much more excited to make ours...finding the time is the problem. Perhaps in January when we slow down we will order ours....fingers crossed. :)
Anyway, I'm excited to show these to you!
Since our work has changed since we ordered our first set of sample albums, we figured a new set was in order. First, we decided to showcase Kristy and Russ's beautiful wedding in a 9x12 silver leather with a cut out photo window on the front.
We also ordered a parent sized sample using Holly and Drew's wedding in a 6x8 aqua colored leather with their names imprinted in silver on the front.
We've also had two client albums come in.....
Brooke and Matt's went with a 15 spread 9x12 with a basic black leather backing to accent their cover cut-out pic.
Lauren and Jon got the big guy - a 20 spread 12x16 with an upgraded acrylic photo cover. I think they accented it perfectly with the brown/gray leather backing.
And for those who might be wondering, we use Finao albums. :)
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! We'll be shooting our last Saturday wedding of the year tomorrow - I'm dying to post Trinette's uptown theatre bridal portraits next week - you won't want to miss these!
I think I've mentioned on here before how much I love getting mail. Well, one of my FAVORITE things to get in the mail is a wedding album that we've ordered for a client. Because seriously - they are beautiful. I can barely contain my excitement when I see the return address from our album company - Finao. NO DOUBT the box is ripped open upon delivery.
One of the reasons I love Finao is because of the options. I really have fun playing "album stylist" when we have one of our client's over to proof their album and pick out their cover materials. Jessica and Steve chose to design their album to match their living room - they went with the "Mimosa" fabric cover and the "Havana" leather as an accent. And seriously? I'm obsessed with it.
As soon as I heard my doorbell ring this afternoon, I knew what it was - a gift from the UPS man....it was Joy and Matt's wedding album. And man, do I LOVE it.
They decided on the 9x12 with an acrylic photo cover (which is my personal favorite) with the Miami Ink backing - it looks SICK.
**EDIT** - video post below is now working....sorry about that! :)
I woke up later then planned this morning and thought for sure the whole day was going to be a bomber - how's that for pessimism? Sure enough, my bad attitude didn't do me any favors as I trudged myself out the door for a walk (I recently found out I have high cholesterol, so am trying to get on the healthy train) and then back inside 40 minutes later for a shower. Honestly, I just wanted to crawl back into bed and stay there until Geoff got home.
However, after walking out of my two hour lunch at Phat Burrito (probably not great for the cholesterol, I know this) with my friend, Candice, I decided the day wasn't so bad after all. And from there, when I decided to actually choose my attitude for the rest of the day, it miraculously got better and better.
After returning home and checking my mailbox, I found a very sweet surprise, to which I declared to myself that I officially have the kindest and most thoughtful clients ever. Included with a gift certificate to the restaurant Bonterra was this note:
"Tim and I (as well as our families and friends!) just want to thank you one more time for all of the awesome memories you've provided of our wedding. We truly couldn't be any happier. Please accept this small token of our appreciation. I know how busy your lives are these days, so please enjoy a quiet, romantic dinner with each other on the two of us whenever you get a free moment. Take care and hope to see you soon! - Anna and Tim"
Seriously, they made my entire week. There's no better feeling in this business then knowing the people we work with are happy with their experience with Geoff and I as their photographers. Thank you again, Anna and Tim!
After Geoff came home from work we headed out for a spontaneous date. One of my all time favorite things to do with him is go to The Fresh Market for a dixie cup full of free sample coffee (with perhaps a bit of candy). I know it sounds ridiculous, but whatever...it's special to us. So we actually hit up The Fresh Market BEFORE heading next door for dinner at Red Rocks Cafe. Geez, I'm name dropping a lot of restaurants tonight!
My favorite moment of the day was walking arm and arm out to the car from dinner - snuggling up to Geoff and realizing how much in love with him I am. :)))
And finally, should you still be reading this crazy long post, you are welcome to check out my very first video blog post that I made today showcasing Mary and Niall's wedding album - hopefully I don't sound like too much of a doofus. And goodnight!
